Popular Post Foxhateram Posted 20 June 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 20 June 2022 Final pieces of the contract are being put together. Should be done soon. *Comes from the guy who told me about the loan before it happened. Take it or leave it as always. 18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's unlikely we'll find out the figure. Looks like we're likely to see some transfer activity this week and next. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 21 June 2022 Share Posted 21 June 2022 Assuming true (and we now have two sources), at least the delay in announcing this is because we’ve saved a few quid on the fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 21 June 2022 Share Posted 21 June 2022 If we can get him for £10-12m that would be a solid price for a squad premier league player. But definitely we do need a first team right winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong but more likely torino have sold Bremer meaning they can afford Praet which would trigger Lookman. The money will have been accounted for last year too so shouldn't affect other spend if that's the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Posted 21 June 2022 Share Posted 21 June 2022 Finally some action. A good solid squad signing that will push for the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we get the RW we need which would leave Lookman as a RW impact sub or like for like LW for Barnes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flannel_Fox Posted 21 June 2022 Share Posted 21 June 2022 Whilst I like Lookman and think he's a smart addition. Are we making the mistake again of not improving the starting XI directly, or do we think Lookman will really push Barnes for that starting spot? Would be a bad signing if hes here for that RW spot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need an RW, but Lookman can be a useful backup for that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is easily PL standard though as we have seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTA84 Posted 21 June 2022 Share Posted 21 June 2022 I thought that Lookman was a solid addition to the squad last season. I'm a fan of Lookman, his work rate is good and he brings more balance to the team down the left side. He can beat players, tracks back and I think he should start ahead of Barnes who seems better currently as an impact sub when defenders are tiring. It's a yes from me Jeff.

We definitely need an RW, but Lookman can be a useful backup for that position. I've said it before: Barnes plays better when he knows his starting spot is at risk. Often, that was because of tactics last season; but to get the best out of Barnes, we need someone who can play RW chasing him down. I also think Lookman is a good deal without that consideration, and offers something different, but the Barnes bit is a bonus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobyfox Posted 21 June 2022 Share Posted 21 June 2022 If we sign him for a place in the squad to give us options then he’s a good solid signing. If he ends up being our only signing as an additional RW or LW option I will be disappointed. It’s a tricky one. I don’t want him to burn up our transfer kitty and wage bill if there are better options, but equally he’s far better than waiting all window and getting nobody. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
